THE MOTHER ANGEL;

DY REV. SIDNEY DYER.
,

In the struggle of life, when fortune shall frown,
And sorrow’s dark fountain you drain,
0, faint, not, despair not \when grief crushes down,
Ouc heart ever true will remain;
And she, with a love that is changeless as heaven,
Whatever thy fortune may he,
Will pray for her child, and the rich answer given
Bring the watchcurc of angels to thee.
, At morning, at evening, ascending to heaven,
A mother's acceptance will ﬁnd.
And troops of bright angels are graciously given,
To guard thee before-and behind.

’Mid the howl of the tempest-and shriek of the blast,
When death loudly calls from the deep,

Be calm as you cling to the wide sweeping mast,
As rocked in a cradle to sleep,

Let the wild waters whirl and red lightnings glare

Along the dark path o'er the sea, ,
A convoy of angels withwhlte wings are there,_

Thy mother is praying for thee!
At morning and evening she wrestles with God,
To every warm breathing acceptance is given,
And safe through the dangers ofteiupost and flood.
Thy anchor is cast in the liaveu.

When sin and temptation beset thee around,
Each step in thy pathway a snare,
There comes to the soul, like a murmuring sound,
An echo that bids thee beware!
A pause e’cr the deed of transgression is done,—
No form or resemblance we see,
Yet strength was received from a bright shining one—-
A mother was praying for thee!
At morning and evening she earnestly cries,
She wrestles like Jacob an answer to win;
And chariots and horsemen, unseen, from the skies
Arc guarding from Satan and sin.

If, alas! she has gone to the rest of the grave,
And hushed are her snppliant crlcs,
Her God will remember Hls promise to save,
And help will descend. from the skies.
And she the glad messenger sent to thine aid,
The guardian and watcher to be,
As loving as when by thy bedside she prayed,
A mother an angel to thee!
At morning and evening, unwearied with .care,
That bright mother angel to guard thee is given;
To show the straight gate, and to keep thy feel.
there,
That leads thee to her and to heaven!

The Danger of Grant!- Defent - How to
Avert 1:.

BY HORACE GREELEY. >
Our friends seem to be almost everywhere
resting in the conviction _ that Gen. Grant
cannot possibly be beatgu. This is at once
untrue and perilous. He not only can, but
will be beaten, unless the Republicans work
with more energy and efﬁciency than they
have thus far done. Indiana is the only
doubtful State which seems to be contested
by them with adequate zeal and industry. I
trust that Ohio cannot be lost, but, if there
be no revival 'onQir side, the ballot-boxes .
will close on the night of the October State
election with at least 10,000 more Republi-
can than Democratic votes unpolled. Per-
haps we can stand thatdisparity, and per-
haps not. It is not safe to take the risk.
So of Pennsylvania, We were heavily
cheated there last October ; we are likely to
be worse cheated now. Her election laws
are tolerably good; but the judges in strong
Democratic districts set them atdeﬁancc,tak-
ing all the votes that are offered—especially
the bad ones. They will cheat us at least
10,000 in October. We can beat them stillff
every Republican vote is polled. But will
they be ? Will Alleghany give her 10,000,
Lancaster heLQOOO, and others in propor-
tion ‘3 Will Berks, Northampton, Monroe, .
Columbia, &c.,give no more than their legal
majority against us ?‘ .I hope, but fear.-
KNow‘ let fis suppose that the {enemies of
human rights should—no matter}- by what
means—carry Pennsylvania and Ohio in Oc-
tober, winning likewise some local triumphs

U. S. SLOOP or WAR “Inoquoxs”
YOKOIIAMA, JAPAN, July 3rd, 1868-
DEAR annTTE.

l Being at leisure, Iagain
l take up my pen, for the purpose of giving
l you a f'cw interesting notes, and a slight im-
pression of how affairs stand in Japan.
Since my last communication by the P.
’M. S. S. “China” another most important
change has taken place in the government.
On the 12 ult., there was quite a rush ofJap-
anese troops, Satsumas in Yokohama. They
were reported to have been driven from
Yeddo by Aidzu, of the Tokugawa retain-
ers, who followed them up, and hemmed
them in, consequently there was no chance
of espape except by sea. They chartered
the Kango-no-Kami,——formerly “U. S. S.
Saganiorc”—an American steamer; about
three'hundred of them- had go on board
when the vessel was seized for breach of
Neutrality laws in carrying armed Japanese.
On the 13th an English Steamer was seized
but both vessels were released afterwards.
The southern Daimios who captured the
Mikado, and removed him from his castle,
in which he has been reared, and outside
whose walls it is supposed he never was be-
fore, took him to Osaka and delivered him '
over to the Mics, who are his male blood re-
latives, and hold appointments of great au-
thority in his council. Of these several pro-
tested against his removal to Osaka, and
boldly pointed Ct to him that he was over-
stepping his functions, that he was in the
place of the gods on earth, and had only to
commune with them for 'the good of the
country, that the, Tycoon was the proper
person to transact the business for the gov-
crnment ; they gave him forty days to re-
turn to his castle at Kioto. In a letter
which I received a few days ago from Hiogo
1 was told that he had returned,and the day
of his departure from Osaka, considerable
excitement prevailed ; the town was crowd-
ed with Japanese, and a few foreigners,
many anxiously expecting to see him, but
were disappointed. First came the advance
guard on horseback, then a few on foot, be-
hind these came a plain Satin wood chair,
or Palauqnine, with a Venetian. Window on
either side. It was home by four stalwart
men, and inside sat the Mikado, but he was
not to be seen by so many human eyes, for
he would then be more than a common
man. Many were satisﬁed with seeing his
shoulders, and the proccession which was
immense.
On the 15th, a dispatch was circulated
that Stotsbaslii had been pardoned and re-
called to power by the Mikado, but he refus-
ed to accept it, consequently the young son
of Tayasse one of the three of the Tokugawa
family, was proposed as Shogoon or Tycoon.
The name of the young Prince is Kamasa-
bore ; he is only six years old, Tayasu, his
father refuses to acknowldge the appoint-
ment, declaring that itdoes not rest with the
Mikado, but that the ofﬁce is to be ﬁlled by
election.
Stotsbashi was not to resume the title or ~
powers of the Tycoon but he was to have a
very exalted rank, with revenues of three'
million kokus of Rice, (avkoku of Rice is
equal to one hundred pounds.) and every-
bOdy thought he would accept the offer of
the Mikado. But Stotsbashi refused to un-
dertake any other ofﬁce but that of Shogoon-
ate.
The southern Daimios thought the elec-
tion of the youngxprince Kamasabore would
be more favorable to them as they could

For the Bible Society Record.
Stealing the Word of God.
A missionary of the American Sunday
School Union in the South gives the follow-
ing estimated of the Bible as set fbrth By a
colored man: .
Last sabbath I organized a Sunday school
for a little settlement of colored people,
with twenty teachers of one hundred and
forty-six scholars, and said I would give Tes-
taments to those unable to buy; but those
iho could and wished to pay could have
,e for ten cents. Up sprang a coloured
man and said: “Why, think of dat i do words
of Jesus for ten cents ! Why, coloured mens
you all know clat’ I larued to read before de
war; when a slave, and when I had to larn
at nightby dc light of a pineknot. Well you
know dat I runned away and hid in de
woods. Well, den I lost do little Test’ment
dat I had, and I wanted one so bad ﬂat ‘I
broke into de Mefordist church and stole dc
Bible from dc pulpit, and dc hymnbook too
Den you know I got away Norf, and jiued
dc army in do war. Well, up in Tennessee
dc enemy got after us, and me had to lcab
mity sudden, and den I lost my Bible. But
couldn’t get along widout it, no how; so I
got into a Prisbyteri’n church up dere and
stole anoder one. But, bless dc Lord! we
don’t hub to steal ’de Bible no more, nor hide
away in de dark for to read it. We can buy
it, and read it like men. So come and buy
de words of Jesus,'and den we’ll study it,
and love it, and tank Him for dis blessed
day.”
There is something of loose morality in the
above incident, which the Bible will correct.
But the facts serve to illustrate character as
well as the times. We trust a brighter day
is dawning, and that coloured as well as
white shall rejoice together in the light of
God’s word. _ '

lost his arm ﬁghting in defense of the Union,
said, “I am waiting to see if the people of
this country are going to elect Horatio Scy-
mour, and if they do, I’ll. swear that‘my
arm was chopped off in atthreshing ina—

—A democrat who was interrogated as to
what he thought of the nominations, said,
“It looks like another lost cause"

the U. S. S. “Oneida” whichvesscl takes our
place here. The “Onward” leaves here at
the same .time for San Francisco, taking
home about twenty volunteer line ofﬁcers
from this squadron, their places having been
ﬁlled by midshipman and others lately pro-
moted. '
We have had continual rains for the past
two months: the sun was visible for about
ﬁfteen minutes yesterday,—the ﬁrst time in
seven days. It is expected that the grain
will suffer terribly from the eﬁ'ect.
I will now draw this to a close, with best

Size of the stars.

How large are the stars, and are they
alike, or do they differ in size ? It used to
be conjectured that. they are of somewhat
similar magnitude, presumably about as
great as our sun, and that the difference of
apparent size are due ,to differences of dis-
tance; but when astronomers came to dis-
cover that someof the smaller stars are the
nearest to our system, this idea. fell to the
ground. A. German computer has now,
however, calculated the actual dimensions
of one particular star, and ﬁnds that its mass .
is rather more, than three time that ofthe
sun. The star in question is less than the
4th magnitude—a comparatively small one.
What, then, must be the size of the Sirius
and Aldebaran class ? The reason of its se-
lection of this determination was that it is
one of one 'of the components ofwhat is call -
ed thc binary system—two stars revolving
about each other like the sun and planet...
and the motions of the members of such a
system afford data for the computation.
The star’s distance from us is a million and
a quarter times that of the earth from the
sun, so that light‘takes twenty years to trav-.
'el hither from it—Once a Week.
